Solely because I have difficulty imagining what unspeakable evil Xykon (and Redcloak) could have gotten up to in the situation where Xykon became a Lich - as such I find it possible that the ritual might have been more like one of the non-evil lich varients that occassionally pop up.
Five gold says "destroying your humanity/dwarfinity/goblinity/et al in order to willingly become an undead abomination" counts as 'unspeakably evil'. Of course, unless you want to ask The Giant through his patron Q&A or something, I doubt the vet will ever be resolved, but that's my guess.

Backup guess, we're not shown so as to keep the comic PG-13.
